New Enthralling Series by J. R Ward..

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Black Dagger
Brotherhood delivers the first novel in an enthralling new series set
amid the shifting dynamics of a Southern family defined by wealth and
privilege—and compromised by secrets, deceit, and scandal....

For
generations, the Bradford family has worn the mantle of kings of the
bourbon capital of the world. Their sustained wealth has afforded them
prestige and privilege—as well as a hard-won division of class on their
sprawling estate, Easterly. Upstairs, a dynasty that by all appearances
plays by the rules of good fortune and good taste. Downstairs, the staff
who work tirelessly to maintain the impeccable Bradford facade. And
never the twain shall meet.

For Lizzie King, Easterly’s head
gardener, crossing that divide nearly ruined her life. Falling in love
with Tulane, the prodigal son of the bourbon dynasty, was nothing that
she intended or wanted—and their bitter breakup only served to prove her
instincts were right. Now, after two years of staying away, Tulane is
finally coming home again, and he is bringing the past with him. No one
will be left unmarked: not Tulane’s beautiful and ruthless wife; not his
older brother, whose bitterness and bad blood know no bounds; and
especially not the ironfisted Bradford patriarch, a man with few morals,
fewer scruples, and many, many terrible secrets.

As family
tensions—professional and intimately private—ignite, Easterly and all
its inhabitants are thrown into the grips of an irrevocable
transformation, and only the cunning will survive.
